How could you resist buying it BS.
You are personally thanked in it.
Surely that is something you want to show to your grandkids.

Am I really? I honestly didn't know that.

I found that it had lots of tips that the regular OS people would know but that may have been on older threads and there were one or two bits I had heard before but forgotten about. Also there were a few things that are referred to on here but I've never actually seen described properly before - like the gel air fresheners.

I also find it good for bedtime reading and extra thinking - easier than being sat up at a PC

Next time you are in the book shop have a look it is in the last paragraph. Can't believe no one has told you.
People will be wanting your autograph next.:T

DH has been reading it regularly. I could never have got him to sit down and read it all on here. He's taken on LOADS of the tips and keeps saying things like, 'Wow! Did you know how good this stardrops is?':D

I bought it last week and I'm about half way through now. I havn't really learnt anything new but it's just reminded me to carry on old styling. Like a little kick up the backside.

P.S. Does the cola down the loo tip really work? I imagine it would stain it.

Don't want to sound negative but it hasn't told me anything I didn't already know, but then, I don't think it's aimed at me. I wasn't going to get it until someone said my name was in it

Having said that, it's a great book for people new to OS ways

Im so glad im not the only one who feels like that!!! I was excited when i got the book, but then a bit disappointed when i was reading what i already knew!!!
